GoMo tries MusicQubed’s O2 Tracks on Windows Phone

Having just chatted to Chris Gorman who’s in charge of MusicQubed, the company that created the technology and service behind O2 Tracks on iOS, Android and Blackberry, we thought it best to try out the service. Especially since the company has only just announced availability of the app for Windows Phone which you can find here. It is already available via other devices’ app stores: - Android, BlackBerry, and iOS. We had a bit of fun and games downloading the WP7.8 version, of course.

The good news for Brits is the O2 Tracks service is available across all mobile networks not just O2.

The app is described as a free download but not everything is free, naturally.

O2 Customers get an eight week free trial and then pay £1 a week directly onto their bill for O2 Tracks.

By contrast those on other UK networks have aonly a two week free trial and then will need to pay £4.99 a month.

O2 Tracks automatically downloads the week’s Official Top 40 Chart and 20 other of the most popular tracks direct to a smarphone.

The tracks aren’t streamed, they are downloaded and stored on your smartphone then refreshed over the weekend.
